Bhuj, Gujarat: Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech at the Lalan College grounds here today, lashed out at the UPA government on issues of corruption.

"We recently saw the Maama-bhanja serial (referring to former Railway Minister P K Bansal and his nephew), and are currently watching Saas-bahu-daamad serial (referring to Sonia Gandhi and Robert Vadra)", said Modi.

The nation, he said, wants deliverance from "bhai-bhateejavad" (nepotism) and "parivaarvaad" (dynastic politics).

Modi said, I thought the Prime Minister would make a strong statement against Pakistan from the Red Fort, but that did not happen.

"Of course, I don't think Red Fort should be used as a platform to challenge Pakistan, but Red Fort is the prime symbol of a soldier's inspiration", Modi said.

"Out President (Pranab Mukherjee) yesterday referred to Pakistan saying there is a limit to our patience. I was hoping a strong statement from our PM, but that did not happen", the BJP's aspirant for PM post said.
